Searches in Google Scholar return results without most of the commercial websites that fill normal web searches.
WorldCat
- WorldCat.org lets you search the collections of libraries in your community and thousands more around the world, including archives and theses/ dissertations.
Internet Archive
- Internet Archive is a non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, websites, and more (account creation may be required).

The collection spans from digitized copies of eighteenth-century journals through the latest Open Access conference proceedings and pre-prints crawled from the Web.

TIP: While many of these databases contain scholarly, peer-reviewed articles you may also find and use "grey literature" in your research, including reports, conference proceedings, research papers, dissertations and more. It can be easier to find these by using Google as opposed to Google Scholar.

Taking Better Notes in Zotero (blog post)

"Your mind and your preferred way of working should shape the technology, rather than the opposite. Thinking critically in this way can lead you to hacking the way you work in productive ways."

Avoiding Plagiarism

Plagiarism is using someone else’s ideas or words without giving them proper credit. Plagiarism can range from unintentional (forgetting to include a source in a bibliography) to intentional (buying a paper online, using another writer’s ideas as your own to make your work sound smarter). Beginning writers and expert writers alike can all plagiarize. Understand that plagiarism is a serious charge in academia, but also in professional settings.

Purdue Online Writing Lab as created an excellent overview of plagiarism and how to avoid it.

Avoiding Plagiarism

"Honesty and integrity are central human and Jewish values. Cheating and plagiarism are intolerable and are always considered extremely serious offenses by Gratz College faculty and administration. It is recognized that most students do not participate in such acts but suffer when cheating, plagiarism and other academic violations occur. Dishonesty diminishes the quality of scholarship and compromises the integrity of the institution and Gratz College faculty and administration." Gratz College Academic Handbook 2023-2024

Avoiding Plagiarism

When preparing all written work, great care must be taken to fully acknowledge the sources of all ideas, concepts, language and images (including drawings, designs, photographs, diagrams and charts). All of these guidelines can be found in the APA Manual.

For specific questions, consult with a faculty member or librarian, but the following rules must be observed:

• Any sequence of words appearing in essay which do not belong to the student must be enclosed in quotation marks and the source identified in a manner designated by the instructor.

• A paraphrase should not be enclosed in quotation marks, but should be footnoted (cited) and the source given.

• An interpretation based on an identifiable source must be so attributed.

Click here for Best Practices for Avoiding Plagiarism from the Purdue OWL

Plagiarism is the "taking over the ideas, methods, or written words of another, without acknowledgment and with the intention that they be taken as the work of the deceiver," - American Association of University Professors

Code of Academic Responsibility

Academic dishonesty includes such things as cheating, inventing false information or citations, plagiarism, inappropriate use of generative AI, and/or helping someone else commit an act of academic dishonesty. It is a serious violation of the norms of the academic community to appropriate the ideas of other people without credit or permission, and it is important to learn to discriminate between exploitation and the legitimate use of the ideas of others. The most general rule is that any use of another person’s ideas, whether the source is published or not, should be acknowledged fully and in detail, since disciplines show some differences on how this should be done.

Students should refer to the Gratz style guide for writing for specific details.

Gratz College APA Style Guide

A style guide is a list a standards and expectations for written assignments. This style guide does not govern Gratz College’s expectations for academic honesty, nor does it detail all of the principles of college level writing. The style guide is based on the rules and standards suggested by the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA). APA is an editorial style.

Using DraftCoach to check your work

Academic Dishonesty and Gen AI

Academic dishonesty includes such things as cheating, inventing false information or citations, plagiarism and helping someone else commit an act of academic dishonesty. It usually involves an attempt by a student to show possession of a level of knowledge or skill that he/she does not possess. You may use AI programs, e.g., ChatGPT, to help generate ideas and brainstorm. However, you should note that the material generated by these programs may be inaccurate, incomplete, or otherwise problematic. Beware that use may also stifle your own independent thinking and creativity. You may not submit any work generated by an AI program as your own. If you include material generated by an AI program, it should be cited like any other reference material (with due consideration for the quality of the reference, which may be poor). Any plagiarism or other form of cheating will be addressed according to relevant Gratz policies.

Creswell, J.W. & Creswell, J.D. (2018). Research design, qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods approaches, Fifth Edition. Sage: Thousand Oakes, California.
- This bestselling text pioneered the comparison of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research design. For all three approaches, John W. Creswell and new co author J. David Creswell include a preliminary consideration of philosophical assumptions; key elements of the research process; a review of the literature; an assessment of the use of theory in research applications, and reflections about the importance of writing and ethics in scholarly inquiry.
Saldana, J. (2021). The coding manual for qualitative researchers. (4^th ed.) San Francisco, California: Sage Publications
- This book looks specifically at coding qualitative data as a core, but often neglected skill. Researchers and students alike need to effectively make sense of their data and to identify patterns before they can analyze the material. The book presents a range of coding options with advantages and disadvantages to help researchers to choose the most appropriate approach for their project, reinforcing their perspective with real world examples, and uses step-by-step processes.
Urdan, T. C. (2022). Statistics in plain English. (5^th ed.) New York, New York: Routledge
- This book is a straightforward, conversational introduction to statistics. Each chapter begins with a brief overview of a statistic that describes what the statistic does and when to use it, followed by a detailed step-by-step explanation of how the statistic works and exactly what information it provides.
Bhattacharya, Kakali. Fundamentals of Qualitative Research: A Practical Guide. Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2017
- This book is the road map to proficiency and development in the field of qualitative research. Borrowing from a wealth of experience teaching introductory qualitative research courses, author Kakali Bhattacharya lays out a dynamic program for learning different paradigms of inquiry, empowering students to recognize the convergence of popular research methodologies as well as the nuances and complexities that set each of them apart.
